Viola cornuta alba 
TroIIlUS (Globe Flower) 
The globular, buttercup-like flowers appear from 
early May until July, on lj-sj- to 2-foot stems. Desirable 
for garden effect or cutting purposes. Occasionally 
flowers appear during fall also. The foliage is a hand¬ 
some, glossy, dark green. A mellow soil is desirable, 
but the plants are at home in partial shade or full sun. 
♦Earliest of All. Early and free flowering. Light orange- 
yellow flowers on 18-inch stems. 
♦Europaeus. Common Globe Flower. Clear, bright yellow. 
Very free flowering. 
Ledebouri. Very large orange flowers. Strong, upright 
growth. Blooms later than the type. Height, 
to 3 feet. 
Ledebouri, Golden Queen. Splendid new early-flower¬ 
ing variety with large, orange-yellow flowers. Very 
strong-growing habit. 
♦Orange Globe. Large. Distinct orange flowers of 
excellent substance. 
All Trollius, 90 cts. for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
Veronica (Speedwell) 
Longifolia subsessilis. Clump Speedivell. One of the 
most desirable blue garden flowers and, no doubt, the 
best of this extensive group. Long, dense, deep 
blue spikes from July to September. An extra-good 
garden subject. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Spicata. Spike Speedwell. Compact habit, growing 
about feet in height. Attractive spikes of bright 
blue flowers in June and July. Very free. 
♦Spicata alba. White form of the above. Height, 
15 inches. 
♦Spicata rosea. Delicate pink flowers. Height, 15 inches.

Vinca (Periwinkle) 
♦Minor. Common Periwinkle; Trailing Myrtle. Creep¬ 
ing ground-cover with pretty blue flowers in April 
and May. 50 cts. for 3, $2 per doz., $12 per 100. 
♦Minor, Bowles’ Variety. We believe this European 
form is better in every respect than the Periwinkle 
now so much in demand. The foliage is broader, a 
rich glossy green of wonderful texture, and the plant 
is inclined to branch more from the crown, making a 
dense mass of luxuriant foliage. The flower is a trifle 
larger and a shade deeper in its rich blue color, bloom¬ 
ing profusely in early spring, and intermittently in 
autumn. 75 cts. for 3, $3 per doz., $20 per 100. 
Violas 
♦Apricot. A splendid hybrid bedding pansy with large, 
rich apricot-yellow flowers borne freely throughout 
the summer. Excellent for bordering or rock-gardens. 
Arkwright Ruby. Rich crimson, suffused mahogany. 
A conspicuously brilliant variety. 35 cts. each, 
90 cts. for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
Beauty of Larone. Very dark blue; large as a pansy. 
Free and continuous. Very fine. 35 cts. each, 90 cts. 
for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
♦Cornuta alba. White flowers from May until October, 
if sheared to prevent flowers from seeding. 20 cts. 
each, $2 per doz. 
♦Cornuta lutea splendens. Rich golden yellow. Nice 
compact habit; very showy. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
♦Cornuta, Papilio. The Butterfly Pansy. Dainty blue 
and white flowers. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
♦Double Russian. Perfectly hardy anywhere, produc¬ 
ing double, deep purple, sweet-scented flowers in 
abundance. A splendid variety for the rock-garden 
or that troublesome shady place. 30 cts. each, 
75 cts. for 3, $3 per doz. 
♦Purple Glory. A very fine shade of purple, better than 
Jersey Jewel. Flowers are of excellent size, rounded 
and of splendid substance, insuring good keeping 
qualities; tidy growing, never out of bloom. An 
excellent variety for edging and good for the rock- 
garden. 75 cts. for 3, $3 per doz. 
♦Jersey Gem. The pure violet-blue flowers are pro¬ 
duced very freely on 6-inch stems. It is perfectly 
at home in full sunshine, flowering profusely in early 
spring and late summer, and intermittently during 
midsummer. The finest Viola for American gardens. 
♦Jersey Jewel. Distinct in color, with a larger flower 
resembling the pansy in size. The color is a rich 
violet-blue with heliotrope shadings. 90 cts. for 3, 
$3.50 per doz. 
♦Rosina ( Viola odorata, Rosina). Pink Hardy Violet. 
A novelty of unusual interest to the hardy-plant 
lover, producing not only in spring but again in late 
autumn, quantities of dainty flowers, deliciously 
fragrant and of a charming new color—a combi¬ 
nation of pink and old-rose shades. The fragrance 
probably is the most outstanding feature of this 
new Viola. It is also quite resistant to either sun 
or dry-weather conditions, and will prove extremely 
useful for bordering or as a ground-cover in half 
shade or full sun. Splendid also for the rock-garden.
